Budget 2024 Press Conference, SOS Exec. Director Kaitlin Kharas:

'Support Our Science is thrilled with Budget 2024’s significant new investments for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. '

#SupportOurScience #Budget2024

I am thrilled to announce that on Aug 1 I'll be starting at University of British Columbia #UBC in Vancouver Canada as an #AssistantProfessor #faculty in the Zoology Dept! I'll continue my #evodevo work on arthropod appendages to understand gene network evolution over 500mil yrs

It's #BatAppreciationWeek 🦇 Of the 15 bat species native to B.C., 8 are at-risk or endangered due to threats including habitat loss & White-nose syndrome. We are working to protect and enhance habitat for bats, and are committed to testing for WNS on our conservation areas.

#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽 #SOSBudget2024

The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab speaks plainly and honestly about increasing funding for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars being the 'smart thing to do and the right thing to do for Canada.' Justin Trudeau & Chrystia Freeland please #supportourscience in #SOSBudget2024

Dr. Henrietta Bennett (Henrietta Bennett), Chair of CAPS-ACPP, explains that Canada needs to invest in postdoctoral scholars for a vibrant research ecosystem and economy. Chrystia Freeland Justin Trudeau in #Budget2024 let’s #SupportOurScience #SOSBudget2024

#SupportOurScience stands with graduate students, postdocs, and parliamentarians across Canada as we await #Budget2024 . We look forward to new multiyear investments in scholarships, fellowships and grants for science and research!

As Budget 2024 approaches, please join me in advocating for increased funding for graduate students & postdocs in 🇨🇦. It's time to recognize their critical contributions to science, discovery, & innovation #SupportOurScience CanadianPM Chrystia Freeland supportourscience.ca/action-budget-…

Check this Call for Abstracts in Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and Canadian Journal of Zoology. This collection will reflect Dr. Hutchings’ endeavours via the following themes: life history variation across enviro gradients, fisheries science, & science policy. More info ⤵️.

Research is not a club, it is not for a select few, it is for everyone.

It is a fundamental building block of Canada that everyone has a stake in.

Research improves our health, environment, innovation and economy.

Time to invest in researchers, postdocs, and grad students.

A personal post. A few years ago, I thought I wouldn’t live to see 2024. Six months before the pandemic, my world was turned upside down. I was diagnosed with acute leukaemia. I still recall the very moment when my ER doctor delivered that news. 1/n

Urquhart-Cronish et al. model the eco-evolutionary range dynamics of life-history traits under density-dependent selection. They find that DD alters the extent of allele surfing & that population density is important for consequences of range expansion.

Thank you Holly Moeller, @mixotrophe at other places too for this poignant summary of Prof. Amarasekare’s situation, entirely incommensurate with her actions. Oversight is needed of UC’s handling of this case. #ucregents
